Saturday Surprise

Soul winning / bus ministry was great! Jesse and I knocked on several doors trying to revisit some previous contacts and converts with no success. While walking by a young black man and his friend who both looked pretty rough, I introduced myself and began talking to him. Maxwell is his name. He initially wanted nothing to do with me, but did accept a tract and went off a little distance and read it. Meanwhile, back at the door Dino, one of last weeks visitors and converts came outside followed quickly by his mom. She was very interested in how she could be certain she could go to heaven, and I was very happy to show her. After about 20 minutes interrupted for a while by Santos (Maxwell's friend) she prayed to receive Christ. Santos is a professed alcoholic who really is not interested in anything religious, but as God would have it, his questions were great lead ins for the next point in my Gospel presentation. Dino believes he has about 11 visitors for tomorrow including his mom, Maxwell, and yup, even Santos. Maxwell, by the way told Santos he ought to read the tract. He said, "Its interesting, and funny." That would be great!

As we walked around we ran into Maxwell and Dino once again. They were talking to Maxwell's grandmother. She is saved, but backsliden, and looking for a church. As we spoke I discovered that she was the one in who's home Pastor and Dr. Ware conducted their pre-church fellowships in. How about that? God brought me to meet the lady who He used to help start Revival Baptist Church and I pray that she will return. What a blessing, and all because I "reached out to the leper."
